THE WHISKEY GOSPEL, ACCORDING TO LEW . . .

OUR FRIEND and longtime Beverage Business writer Lew Bryson has written his first whiskey book, Tasting Whiskey. Lew has been the managing editor of whisky advocate magazine since 1996, and believe us, he knows his brown spirits. The book covers virtually everything about the category: origins, history, the geography, the differences among the varied types, how it’s made and why that matters, and how to taste and what it is you’re tasting. Reviews thus far have been stellar. As new york times spirits writer Clay Risen said, “Bryson has something to teach you – and you’ll enjoy every word.” Congratulations Lew!
